Red Friday

Hey gang, Grab your Hiking gear, your poles, put on your hiking shoes and lets head out on the trail.  More rock climbing tour guide?  Yes KW, but I understand you are an expert on rock climbing now.  Hey tour guide, where's that slacker wannabe?  I want to challenge him to a race up a hill.  Sorry KW, I have some bad news for you.  They left for LA last night.  They are making a new movie about Ken and Barbie.  They have been selected to try out.  Oh brother, I told you they looked like Ken and Barbie.  KW, they are Craig Fairfax and Savannah Filmore.  If they get selected they will be in Hollywood for a while.  Either way they will be back.  Oh joy, I can't wait.

Once we got to the top, I had to give her mouth to mouth resuscitation.



Hey tour guide, I think I may have found Big foot.



A few more pictures of the Reserve.











Silver Reef in the 1880's.



A miner had to dig into the sandstone for the silver,
but it was much easier digging than in other mines.

Some of the desert vegetation.







TTFN:

PS:

A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life.  The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation.  About one third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid.

Silver Reef is a ghost town in Washington County, Utah, about 15 miles northeast of ST, George and
1 mile west of Leeds.  Silver Reef was established after John Kimple, a prospector from Nevada, discovered a vein of silver in the sandstone formation in 1866.
